Bayan: history, video, interesting facts, listen. The right accordion keyboard. Video exercises What are the buttons on the accordion called
In the Russian tradition, it is customary to call accordion instruments with a right-handed piano-type keyboard, but there are also button accordions with a keyboard like a button accordion. The very name was given
by the Viennese organ master C. Demian of the accordion improved by him in 1829.
Main components:
Frame. For the manufacture of the body, beech, maple, alder, birch wood was used and is most often used. But accordions with an oak body are extremely rare and are made only to order. But sheets of aluminum are necessary for the manufacture of the lattice. Outside, the body is pasted over with celluloid.
Vulture. The melody keys are placed on the neck, it is attached to the right half of the body. And it is made from the same material as the body.
Fur. For the manufacture of fur, cardboard is pasted over with a cloth, hermetically fastened to the right and left half-hulls. It consists of 13 or more folds, which, when squeezing and unclenching, create air circulation that makes the instrument "sing".
By the way, here's a hack: the fur folds should be pasted over with adhesive tape or electrical tape in order to avoid too rapid wear of the crev fur at the points of contact with the chest of the performer ...
Resonators. A necessary part of sound extraction are resonators with voice bars.
Voice bars. Voice strips are called metal plates with openings, above which the tongues are located. Each note has a separate reed. The shorter the reed, the higher the sound, respectively, the longer - the lower. The tongues are riveted to the plate with their thickened end, the free end of the tongue enters the slot of the plate and vibrates under the action of a passing air stream, forming a sound. Voice strips are made of non-ferrous metals, brass and aluminum. The quality of the sound depends on the precision of the reed attachment, the quality of the material, and the type of body wood.
register system. Made from aluminum and brass. Used to change tone.
Device.Two keyboards connected with furfor pumping air into the keyboard-pneumatic mechanism. Accordion Air Valve Device:
Musical instrument mechanismallows you to control the air flow through the reeds , up to its complete cessation (green arrows in the diagram). Depending on the direction of the air flow, one of the two reeds of the same tone of the chamber fluctuates (blue and orange arrows in the diagram). Other musical instruments (eg. harmonica ) the reeds of one chamber may differ in musical tone - harmonist changing the direction of movement of the fur changes the pitch (musical note) without removing the finger from the key. The left (side, bass) keyboard of the accordion is arranged differently: pressing one button, thanks to a complex mechanism, opens several cameras at the same time ( chord ). The mechanism is common to accordions, button accordions and other similar musical instruments.
There are several varieties of accordions: normal and ready-elective .
In the usual bass (left hand) plays as expected according to the row scheme:
In the picture you see a diagram of a conventional left keyboard in a mirror image (B - major, M - minor, 7 - seventh chord, Um - diminished chord).
But in the ready-to-elective there is a switch from the above scheme to a completely different one. By means of the switch, the accordion switches to the mode of changing the entire left keyboard to only basses (notes). That is, where in the usual chords, in the selective keyboard - notes.
The left keyboard in the selection is the mirror right keyboard on the button accordion.
Accordions are also classified by size:
1.
Full - 4/4
- 41 keys; range - from F small octave to la third octave.
2.
7/8
- 37 keys; range - from F small octave to F third octave).
3.
3/4
- 34 keys; range - from salt small octave to mi third octave.
4.
Half - 1/2
- 26 keys; range - from si small octave to before third octave.

In fact, the button accordion is a kind of accordion.
Everyone has their flaw
Your habits, hobbies.
And there are directions in music
But there can be no doubt
What is dearest to me is the button accordion.
You say, “But how is that? He is old
And you'll be wrong.
Smile at your mistake
When he comes back to our life.
Let his sound not so loud,
Like electric guitars
The roar is coming from the speakers,
But he has something in him...
And this "something" even the most,
Rock band fanatics headstrong
Sometimes it takes to the soul.
And, believe me, the years will fly by
Windy fashion will change,
And only the button accordion will not be silent.
He will pass all fires and waters.
And together with the "Russian round dance"
Bayan will sound on Mars!
Riddles:
Stretch the fur, Seryozhka,
So that the legs start dancing.
To Petya and Tolyan
Praise your...
He has a pleated shirt
He loves to squat,
He dances and sings -
If it gets into your hands.
Forty buttons on it
With mother-of-pearl fire.
The box is on its knees
She sings, she cries loudly.
Sting on the keys Anton,
Sting on the buttons Ivan,
And the accordion sounded
And played (accordion)
Bayan is a musical instrument, a kind of harmonica with a full chromatic scale on the right keyboard, basses and ready-made chord or ready-to-select accompaniment on the left. Named after the ancient Russian singer-storyteller Boyan.
The modern bayan is equipped with a five- or three-row right keyboard, sometimes with register-switches (depending on the number of simultaneously sounding voices when one button is pressed in the right keyboard mechanism) and a ready-selectable five- or six-row left keyboard and has excellent artistic and performance capabilities, allows play not only the simplest melodies, but also masterpieces of world classics. There are two-, three-, four- and five-part button accordions.
Bayan consists of three parts - the right half-body, the left half-body, the fur chamber. The sound in the bayan arises due to the vibration of the reeds in the openings of the voice bar under the influence of an air stream from the fur chamber or into the fur chamber.
Conversations with BAYAN.
Bayan can tell a lot about himself. Look at Bayan - what a handsome man!
It's amazing how much it looks like an accordion.
Still, - the instrument boomed in a juicy, thick bass. - The accordion is my blood brother. Confuses us who does not look closely. Indeed, the Accordion
on the side of the key, like a piano, on the other - buttons. And Bayan has buttons on both the right and left. That's like the whole difference.
And when were you born?
Rarely anyone from musical instruments to such a question
ready to answer. And I know for sure that he appeared in 1907.
Yes, you are still a child! other musical instruments, such as the harp, are thousands of years old. - And such successes! World fame! Must be ability
extraordinary!
The instrument was touched, sobbed in basses:
You respect me, and I will open my soul to you. - And opened it. . . The soul of this tool is a special pneumatic device, in other words, a device that acts by force. compressed air. Air is pumped by furs, it vibrates elastic metal plates-tongues.
The instrument pronounces something gloomy in bass - only reeds are in motion.
It will fill with a gentle nightingale trill - others are moving. The instrument is having fun - the tongues are dancing merrily, sad - the tongues are trembling in thought.
- So that's your secret!
- Let's clarify: not mine, but all pneumatic reed instruments, and the Accordion too.
- A you something personally than such special?
- Without false modesty I will say - improved me. So advanced that perhaps the most perfect of all pneumatic reeds.
Here the tool told its story.
It turns out that he comes from the ancient Russian city of Tula, famous for all kinds of crafts. Came out of a large family of accordions. And it was created by master Pyotr Sterligov, an accordionist. Yes, not on a whim, but by order of the artist Orlandsky-Titarenko. This artist played Russian folk songs unusually well on the accordions. But he had a dream to play even more skillfully. Thus, our hero was born. And they gave him a name, not some kind of newborn, but a proud, epic one (By the way, the name of this epic singer is found in Pushkin's poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila".) Yes, the instrument turned out to be so dexterous, sonorous, that he went for a walk all over Russia. And then they recognized him abroad, and everywhere he conquered hearts with a Russian melody. As time went on - the instrument matured, and he wanted to try everything in the world.
“I feel a heroic strength in myself,” said the instrument, finishing the story. - I can play any music, the most difficult. I compete with the famous Piano and the mighty Organ.
I almost forgot. . .
The name of this instrument is BAYAN.
(I draw your attention: the name of the epic singer is sometimes written through "o" - Boyan, the name of the instrument is always written through "a" - Bayan.)

The study of musical literacy must be associated with the auditory images and concepts of the child. In other words, notes must be studied sequentially with different durations.
The study of musical notation usually starts from the note “to”. As the student learns the seven basic sounds of the natural scale, the student practically masters the key of C major, its stable and main steps. Learn to play as early as possible without constant looking at the keyboard. This will become possible when you know well the location of the notes on the button accordion keyboard. Moreover, to know not virtually, but by touch. For this you will have to work hard. The best way to learn the keyboard is to use one octave.
I recommend the first one. By placing our fingers on one octave, we will automatically know the notes of other octaves. Some students need hundreds of repetitions to memorize the basic sounds of one octave. Someone remembers the location of the notes very quickly. But I repeat: it is not enough to remember the location of the notes, you need to distinguish them by sound, accurately determine their location on the keyboard.
The main task of the initial practical work for the study bayan keyboards: remember the nature of the sound in the natural scale, hear it in reality and have an auditory idea of it. In addition, it is important to learn the relative duration of whole, half and quarter notes.
Along with memorizing the notes on the keyboard, the student gets the concept of the location of the notes on the stave, learns how to correctly record sounds of different durations. Here he works out the first skills of sound production and mechanical science.
We memorize the location and sound of the note "to" the first octave. Press the "to" button. Let's pull the sound, listen to it carefully. Let's try to reproduce it with a voice. Then along with the tool. We do this procedure 10-15 times. Press the next button - the corresponding note "re". We do not touch the semitones yet.
Our task for initial stage learn the location of the main notes. So, we play the sequence of notes "to" - "re". We play this sequence in whole, in half. If possible, use a metronome. But even with a metronome, we always count the beats or stamp the count with our foot.
Be sure to sing the exercises performed. When we confidently take the notes “do” and “re” on the keyboard, we proceed to work out the next combination of buttons corresponding to the notes “do” - “si”. We press the “do” button with the second finger, the “si” note with the third.
We concentrate as much as possible, strain our hearing, absorb the sounds being played. We carefully monitor transitions, transfusions from sound to sound. The next combination of sounds to learn the right keyboard: "do-re-si-do".
I remind you that all these manipulations are aimed at studying the location of the “do” note on the keyboard. After you begin to find and play the note “do” absolutely freely, you can move on to mastering the note “re”. By analogy with the previous lessons, we compose a sequence of buttons from the “re” button down and up.
These sequences will look like this: “re-mi”, “re-do”, “re-mi-re-do”. How many times do the sequences need to be repeated before they are completely memorized? For each student individually. It could be ten repetitions, or it could be a hundred.
Similarly, we work out the rest of the main sounds up to the note "si". This will be the first step in learning the right keyboard. In the next step, we will deal with intervals, i.e. Let's continue to study the notes (buttons) of the main scale on the right keyboard using intervals as an example.

reed musical instrument
The sound of the accordion, button accordion, accordion happens due to humming metal reeds voice bars. When air passes through the slot of the bar, the metal tongue vibrates in the slot and a sound of a certain tone is heard. The air is blowing fur. Each plank has two tongues that make the same sound. The tongues are located on different sides.For air to pass through unclenching fur through one tongue. And when squeezing fur through another. Opposite each of the two slots of the voice bars, a small strip of skin(not shown in the picture) One strip closes the slot of the voice bar when the fur is compressed. The other when unclenched.
For every sound of a certain pitch own voice box. In an accordion, button accordion, accordion, there are as many voice bars with sounds of various pitches as the instrument can play notes. Tool range - 3 to 7 octaves. That is, from about 20 to 80 sounds. For richness of sound, an octave is placed on each note two voice sticks. And the registers make it possible to sound several different voices on the same note.
Pressed the key - opened the air valve
How manage so many votes. Creating from these voices music. By pressing the desired keys playing the instrument opens the desired air valve . who guides air from fur to the right sound chamber. Air exits through the voice bar.To install resonators, valve and other mechanisms near the instrument there are two decks. At the right side right deck. On the left side left deck. There are decks wooden or metal. Decks have sound holes. The holes of the resonators coincide with the holes of the decks. The sound holes of the decks close and open valves when you press keys tool. Decks are adjacent to the body sides hermetically. To all the air from furs went to make a sound

On the picture in at the very beginning articles depicted other model accordion. He has broken deck - in Italian cassotto. The right deck has transverse sound pocket. The resonators and valves in the cassotto are transverse. It is more expensive and professional tool design. Cassotto gives the accordion or button accordion more deep and rich sound.Ivan Kopytin's Blog Bayan Accordion Accordion
The left keyboard consists of five (and sometimes six) longitudinal rows. These rows are counted in the direction from the fur to the edge, that is, the row closest to the fur is called the first.
The keys of the longitudinal rows of the left keyboard are not located exactly opposite the keys of the first row, and each row is slightly shifted upwards, in relation to the previous one. Thus, transverse rows that are slightly beveled upwards are created.
The keys of the 1st and 2nd longitudinal rows, when pressed, give bass sounds. Each key of the 3rd, 4th and 5th rows (and in some instruments also the 6th row) gives the sound of finished chords.
The main row of the left keyboard is the second longitudinal row of basses, which is called the main row.
The keys of the main row are not arranged in the order of scale steps, but in such a way that each adjacent key, counting from bottom to top along the keyboard, gives a fifth sound higher than the previous one.
Approximately in the middle of this row there are seven bass keys, of which the first white one from the bottom gives the lowest sound of the button accordion - the note F of the contra-octave; the adjacent white key gives a sound up to a large octave, etc.
The basses of the second row are the main sounds in relation to the sounds of the chords of the remaining rows, that is
The black key next to the note F down gives the sound of B-flat, the second black key down gives the sound of E-flat, etc. Thus, the sounds extracted on the white keys of the 2nd row, as a whole, constitute the scale of the C major scale, but not in the usual order. The five black keys of this row, in relation to the white keys, produce chromatically modified sounds (i.e., flat and sharp).
Seven white and five black keys give all 12 chromatic sounds within one octave. In addition to seven white and five black keys, in the same row there are also white and black keys, which are a repetition of those mentioned above; they are for convenience (to avoid jumps).
The first row of the left keyboard is called auxiliary. The keys of the first row are located among themselves in exactly the same way as in the second row and are a repetition of the 2nd (main row), but the first row in relation to the second in height is shifted up by a major third (in writing notes).
Thus, against the sound fa of the 2nd longitudinal row (the first white key from the bottom) is the sound la.
The auxiliary row, which gives third sounds to the main bass row (2nd row), is of great convenience and makes bass playing much easier.
The auxiliary row keys in the notes are conventionally denoted by the letter B, which is placed under or above the note.
The basses of each key of the main and auxiliary rows are recorded with one note, although when the corresponding key is pressed, not one sound sounds, but three sounds of the same name in three octaves at once:
The third longitudinal row gives major triads (or their inversions), built from the main basses of those sounds that are extracted by the adjacent keys of the second longitudinal row. The fourth row gives the chords of the minor triads (or their inversions), and the fifth row gives the dominant seventh chords (or their inversions).
In the button accordions of some designs there is also a sixth longitudinal row, which gives the sounds of chords of diminished triads.
The basses of the second row are the main sounds in relation to the sounds of the chords of the remaining rows, that is, the chords depend on the name of the bass against which they stand in the transverse (oblique) row. In other words, each main bass along the transverse oblique row has three ready-made chords related to it.
When you press only one key of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th longitudinal rows, a whole chord sounds at once, but all the sounds included in the chord are still written in the notes. The sound of these chords does not go beyond the small and first octaves.
To make it easier to find chords on the button accordion, the following symbols are used in the notes:
1) major chords (large triads) are denoted by the letter B;
2) minor chords (small triads) are denoted by the letter M;
3) dominant seventh chords are indicated by the number 7;
4) diminished triads are denoted by the letter U.
If after the bass there is a chord that has one of these conventions, then this chord is taken in accordance with the designation in the same transverse (oblique) row in which the bass is located.
To make it easier to find the desired key on the keyboard, a small note in brackets is written at the bottom of the chord, which indicates which main bass the chord should be taken from:
In example 2, the bass si is taken in the auxiliary row, and the next major chord from the note G is in the same transverse row as the si note.
If the chord is above the bass note, then the bass and chord are played at the same time, that is, two keys, bass and chord, are pressed together.
In these cases, a small note in brackets may also be signed below the chord, indicating from which bass the chord should be played:
If the bass is written with notes of longer durations, and the chord has a shorter duration, the notation in notes is as follows:
